If you love to sketch, are an obsessive note taker or have a love of old fashioned techniques and artistry (like me) then you'll certainly enjoy browsing through the Moon Bindery. Artist, Barbara, sources the finest quality leather and writing/drawing papers and binds each book with and traditional book binding methods and hand stitching. She draws her inspiration from Japanese aesthetic principles of Wabi-Sabi and Shibui. We also adore the prints on the inside cover of the books, our favourite... Leonardo da Vinci.

leather hides, or letting the chisel marks show in wooden book covers"....
